            SB 259 NO SUNSET FOR COMMISSION ON AGING                          
                                                                              
 Number 001                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN GREEN called the Senate Health, Education and Social                 
 Services (HESS) Committee to order at 9:07 a.m. and introduced                
 SB 259  as the first order of business before the committee.                  
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER believed that all commissions should have a sunset             
 date in order to make the commission more accountable.  The Alaska            
 Commission on Aging has been doing a good job.  Senator Miller                
 moved a conceptual amendment to make the sunset date the year                 
 2,000.  Hearing no objection, the conceptual amendment was adopted.           
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN moved that CSSB 259(HES) be moved out of committee              
 with accompanying fiscal note and individual recommendations.                 
 Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
